My first (and until now last) attempt to put some color on a guitar. Stained it cherry red and spayed it with a spraying can.

My sister in law loved it so much she bought it. She doen't play guitar (or any instrument) but just bought it for the looks and hung it on a wall. Had I known it would end up as a decorative piece I would have installed cheap chinese pick-ups and tuners instead of Seymour Duncan and Grovers.

It does look cool. Yeah you should definitely have switched out the pickups before selling it @marcel Perhaps you could talk her into it one day. 

Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸

Haha, no I won't. I don't make guitars and basses for a living so I don't mind too much about the money. In this case I was ok just to get the  money I had put into it. So if I had changed the pickups and tuners I would have dropped the price equally.

No, I don't. And my brother in law is a very big and strong guy.

I made a cigar box guitar out of a commemorative biscuit Tim of Charles and Diana for some one and they hung that on the wall....I think your Creation on the wall would be far nicer..

The C&D idea was just a bit too weird for me...but they paid for it and provided the tin.

I have too many guitars...said no one in the world..ever!
